Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

“To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don’t know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“Life’s nonsense pierces us with strange relation.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“That strange premature genius Chatterton has couched in one line the quintessence of what Voltaire has said in many pages: “Reason, a thorn in Revelation’s side.””
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
